Re: Restating the Paradox
[ QUOTE ]
I thought it was obvious that when I say "an event", I'm not talking about 100k hands of poker. I mean *an* event.
[/ QUOTE ]
An event can be the outcome of 100K hands, or of a single dealt hand. There's no relevant or essential difference between the two, certainly not for the sake of this particular discussion.
[ QUOTE ]
saying that you can predict an outcome as a probability range and the event in question being random are pretty much two separate issues.
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't see exactly what you mean by "seperate issues", but again, for most normal uses in language, many kinds of events that have less than probability 1 (sometimes much less) are not considered "random" at all. That is, again, with regard to your last "refined" definition.
